hi
Did somebody have problem like that : during when gps is working I can't charge my touch pro2 , its going to around 70% battery and then flashing alternately green and orange notification LED and battery heat up (is really hot) . Next problem is that GPS sometimes doesn't want start (it show very low sat signal ) . Last time it started after I did ... 200 miles !!! External GPS (via bluetooth) works every time ... . Maybe my pro2 is broken ?
any ideas ?

Mine charge and gps at the same time :>
Also make sure under the settings "When device is turned on, do not charge the battery" is unchecked :>

I have only : When device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the PC ... It hasn't influence for car charger ..
maybe the unit became too hot to continue charging..
sometimes my omnia did the same...

If yes , it is useless ... How to do e.g. 400 miles and use GPS without charge ??? if GPS will start ....

well, last resort .. do a hard reset and reinstall your gps software. If still getting the same problem, return it for a new one, cos it should charge while the gps is running; Cos I have done it from a long roadtrip during my vegas grandcanyon trip...with more than 200miles :>

don't know, but maybe condition in your car were too hot...
anyway it seems strange...
i had that problem with omnia only after many hours of navigation in very vry hot days...

Outside car was 17-18 C inside similar (open windows) .When GPS is off it charge normally . when it heat up it even stink as my old burned desktop computer ...
so that's definitely not my case..
i think your unit is faulty...
the stink would make me worry....
i'd ask for a replacement of the unit
I had the same problems.
So I bought the original Car Charger from HTC, the HTC CC C100.
That works like a charm.
The original charger deliveres 1Amp, most 3th party chargers don't.
And your HTC won't get so hot anymore, somehow more amps makes your HTC work less hard to charge??

When this problem appeared I was thinking about it .But I've got original charger as well , though different model . it's CLA 05D-050 and it delivers 1A .I used it with HTC Touch HD and was fine ....
I've got the same problem, sometimes the TP2 gets really hot and sometimes not (and then stops charging), first I thought it depends on surrounding temperature, but I'm not sure.
@agaryt: If it's an original HTC charger, it must be your TP2?
I'm not sure yet but probably I solved problem . I uninstalled 2 programs :
Spike's_ MicNeo_TaskBar_Touch2_Varient_3_v2.cab and TP2-Batt.cab witch was 1% increment battery driver .... I did it yesterday and I used TP2 almost 9 hours with charger today with no problem at all .GPS showed me better signal as well . It is hard to believe that TP2-Batt.cab is responsible for this problem that why I will keep test for next 2 days during my trips (in lorry).
So, if will be fine I've got resolution if not I will send it back to HTC .

the 1% mod is a replacement for the battery driver, and it is possible it is the culprit..
anyway i have it installed, and i don't have problem charging...anyway i did not tryed to charge and using gps toghether..

I do not have installed one of your programs, and have the charging problem.
While using navigation SW (with gps) and charging in the car, sometimes the TP2 gets hot and stops charging...
Similar problems happened over the years with various pocketpc devices. Seems that GPS consumes more than 500mA, so you need a 1A charger to charge it properly.
There are also some 2A "fast" chargers available, but I dont feel really comfortable sending 2A to my precious pocketpc.
Also if you drive in extremely hot conditions with direct sunlight hitting the device, you might want to consider creating a cardboard "hat" for your device.

You don't send 2A to your precious device, the adapter is capable to deliver 2A.
The device you charge will ask for the amps.
today problem came back . But LED showed me overheating twice (it last 5-10 minutes everytime ) and then back to charge . after that it back to normal charge and battery is full now . I couldn't complain of it but during overheated GPS gets low satellites signal and very often lose it ...
Just wondered if anyone have come across this.
I've been using Navigation for my PDA as long as I can remember, but after I moved from WiMo devices to Desire, things haven't been working out for me.
TomTom was my first choice on WiMo, but as TomTom does not support Android (yet), I had to look for an alternative.
So far I tested:
CoPilot Live 8
Navigon
MotoNav
Ndrive
Sygic Mobile Maps
Common for all products is this:
When navigating without an external power source, everything works fine - except for CoPilot draining a fully charged battery in less than a coule of hours(!!!)
When navigating with an external powersource, all products - with no exception - will reboot my desire ever so often. Reboots happen in intervals of 5 - 20 minutes. In most cases the Desire will lock up in the start up screen too, and I have to remove the battery. Not good while driving the motorway!
My external powersource is the HTC branded car charger CC C200. I tried with a Nokia charger with the same result. Battery information says 'Charging (AC)'.
In desperation I even tried rooting the device, using Paul's 'Riskfree R6' including a2sd, but to no avail.
Do you think my device is broken, or is this just the way the Desire works?
I searched hi and low, but only found comments on the CoPilot battery drain problem, not Desire rebooting while navigating and connected to car charger.
Any help would be appreciated.
BTW: I also tried google navigation and lo and behold - even works with the car-carger connected. Too bad I don't have a dataplan to support it
PS: I'd hate to go back to my WiMo TouchPro 2..... although I miss the keyboard.....

I use Copilot all the time without issue.
First of all, check that your car charger outputs 1A (1000mA). A 500mA charger generally isn't enough to keep the device charged when using GPS navigation.
As to your rebooting problem, I'd suggest flashing a different radio, but it's not something I've heard of before, so I can only make a suggestion rather than provide a definitive solution.
Regards,
Dave
I'm afraid you are experiencing the first signs of a defective motherboard: it heats up and then restarts the device. There are several reports of this if you search the threads and it gets worse over time.
I really hope I'm wrong but you should prepare for it being a possibility (e.g. unroot so you can send it in for repair).

Yes, I read that in another thread, and that's why I went for the HTC CC C200 (1500mA).
Which version of CoPilot Live 8 are you using?

Thought about that too, but my Desire doesn't feel warm at all, and why would it run just fine, when a charger is not attached? I tried disabling BT/3G/Wireless but same thing happened.
Thanks for your replies guys.

You could install aLogcat from Market and see what exactly happens, what causes your Device to restart. (if you can't figure out what it says you can post your logcat and we will try to help).
I'm using Sygic mobile maps, works perfect with a noname 1000mA car charger.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I used Google nav. And I have a car charger that I got from Sprint (about $30). Everything works perfectly.

Im using version 8.0.0.778. Got it form Alk's website and its the one that shows up on Market.
Im using Copilot also, the official version from Android Market place. I use a cheap Cigarte light to USB adapter and have no issue what so ever.
I say install alogcat and see what it say when it reboots.

I installed aLogcat from the market. Looks like a great tool for troubleshooting.
Unfortunately I'm not able to test it on a longer drive, before I'm off for Portugal on my hols Monday. And isn't it ironic - I'll need my Desire to navigate me from the airport to our final destination in a rental-car
I really appreciate your help guys
Enjoy your hols.
I'm using Sygic without any problems. Charging via unversal USB adapter, which I'm guessing provies only 500mA power (while navigating with GPS + BT, the battery doesn't get charged. I think it even loses a few % per hour). Anyway, it is enough for 5+ hours of navigation.
If possible, I would try to use a different charger.

This weekend i used my Desire with Sygic Mobile Maps 8.06. Had no problems at all on my trip (10 hours continious use each way). Im also using a Nokia car-charger, not sure about the amps on that, but I did'nt have any problems with low battery or anything.

I think the Nokia chargers link out the data wire connections just like your wall charger does and are capable of putting out enough power. If when connected the battery staus says "charging Ac" its got the data wires shorted, If it Says "charging Usb" it thinks its a pc and so limits itself to 500ma so it does not damage the pc.

Hi,
i have a samsung car charger and I also think it's giving out only 500 ma because when I use navigation the phone slowly discharges. if I stop the navigation then it will charge again.
So what I want to do is to short out the 2 middle pins which are the data pins.
I already tested with the multimeter and there is no connection between the 2 data pins in my car charger.
So please tell me :
1. is it safe to short out the data pins on my car charger?
2. what exactly should I see on the phone ? ( when I plug it to the wallcharger its just charging without any message ( unlike usb charge where you have a specific message)
3. If everything will work ok ... how can I be sure that the charger will provide me 1000ma instead of only 500ma ?
Hi guys,
I love my HOX, and all the G3 fans can bite me (had to take it out).
Now, my only issue, is when i GPS (Waze/iGo) i need to charge the phone obviously.
but after 20-30-40 minutes the phone show me blinking green-red led, and i understand it stop charging.
Anything to do with this ?
its big issue since its making the GPS kind of unusable for longer trips.
10x,
Chura
Hello, do you use a 1 amp car charger ?
Unless, the only solution i have seen from here is to "fake" the car charger as an AC charger
but i never had to do such thing by chance ... i never use GPS on long travels ...
Looks like some car chargers are seen as USB charger with limited amps ...
Modifying the cable or using another one makes phone believe it's on AC charger
and gets more amps to charge.
I'm aware of it, and i was about to make the change before i noticed the Green-Reg led.
how will it help to increase the Amp if the phone stop charging anyway ?

Red-green led is battery over heat, meaning your battery was at or above 48c. If you're rooted you can limit your phone too two cores which should help keep temps down.
If not then you will have to take breaks from GPS till its sorted by software update. I assume its using more Cpu/cores then needed, only a theory.

Thats basic design, how come HTC didnt get it tested ?!
worth openeing a ticket about it ?
i really hate to say this, but its deal breaker for me.
Does anyone know if the SGS3 have heat issue's also ?
EDIT: Opened ticket with HTC, hopefully for good news with some firmware upgrade or something.
A few days ago I purchased Galaxy S II official vehicle dock, so today I decided to give it a try. But to the problem I ran into, was that when I was using GPS (CoPilot) the phone shows that its charging, but it actually slowly discharges it. Well first I thought that, my car cigarette lighter plug didn't give it enough juice, but then I tried the same thing with the phone connected to regular power outlet using the original charger. The result was that the phone shows that its charging, but the percentage doesn't go up or down, it just idles at the percentage point, when i connected it to charger. I'm pretty sure it should charge the phone, even if I use GPS and the screen is switched on. My second thought was that the phone was overheating due to hot weather, but im not sure about this.
The only time I actually got the phone charging through the cigarette plug, was when the phone's screen was switched off.
So my question is what should I do? Is the dock connector damaged or something? should I consider changing it or is there some other problem? I have read all the topics about this issue and its seems, that there is no firm fix for this. Im really running out of ideas.
(The phone was charged to 80% when I encountered this problem.)
About phone:
Android version: 4.0.4
Kernel version: 3.0.33-Siyah-v3.3.1
Resurrection version 2.1
CurrentWidget stats:
Running GPS and screen switched on
638mA - when connected to regular power outlet
640mA - when connected to cigarette lighter plug
4.071V
Temp. 51C
I have actually the same issue, I just presumed that the car charger doesn't produce enough charge to actually charge.

I can only give you 3 guesses:
1- Maybe it's some sort of weird software bug (maybe the ICS 4.0.4 + SiyahKernel combination or something);
2- It's simply the battery chip going crazy (whenever my battery indicator seems to go nuts I simply reset the fuel gauge with ExTweaks, you might wanna give it a try); and
3- A bad or damaged car-plug charger (since you have that problem when charging from the dock and directly from an original charger, I don't think it's a bad dock).
I'm saying that because I use the original car dock quite a lot - almost always for usage as a GPS Navigator (NDrive 11) with GPS, Data and WiFi Connection always on (too lazy to turn WiFi off while in the car) and usually with an increased brightness (around 50 - 70%) and even in those battery unfriendly conditions (GPS on and locked, WiFi and Data on, high brightness, etc, etc, etc) it still charges the battery. It takes a while to get a full charge, but it gets fully charged eventually. And I sometimes use the car-plug charger directly in the phone, when I'm not using my S2 as a GPS Navigator.
I would suggest you to try and use another ORIGINAL car-plug charger to check - or maybe go back to whoever sold you the dock and get it replaced or something...
Hope this helps. Best regards mate.

You can buy it on eBay - there are a lot of UK stores with very high positive reputation - I bought mine from one in UK, and it arrived about 3 weeks after the purchase (and keep in mind that the brazilian customs is recognized worldwide as one of the slowest, most burocratic in the planet). It was worth the wait, though, as the minimum value of the original vehicle dock sold "officially" in Brazil was more than twice the purchase and shipping costs from buying it in eBay...
Your problem, is everyone's problem.
This phone will only charge at 750ma, and not 1A like most smart phones.
You can change this by rooting the deivce and installing a different kernal.
Should you do this, you may notice the phone getting hotter whilst charging, and I imagine your battery's overall lifespan will be shorter,

my find 7 vooc charger not charging any phone, few hour ago its charging my phone until 50% and its not charging again. any advice please?
Have you tried using other chargers or a USB to computer connection? It's possible that your VOOC charger simply kicked the bucket.
battery connection
i also faced frequent issue with my VOCC charging, sometimes its fast sometimes not, i knew that once above 80-85%, VOCC will stop.. but sometimes i cant get VOCC even at less 10% juice left.
but i found that removing the battery and reattaching it fixes the issue.. due to this my Carbon Back Case is damaged lol... too frequent.

I had the same problem. Oppo find 7S bought in china, used in Italy, after 1 year use the oppo VOOC charger stopped working :crying:, it doesn't charge any phone, the model of the charger is the old one, where you can't change the cable.
To solve the problem i bought the new one, and now i don't have any issue, hope this still work the next year. Greetings!
Ps.: Also my girfriend had the same problem with the VOOC charger, now she uses another charger too.
Same problem here, but is not the VOOC charger, but the battery itself....
I say it, because i have another batterie e and the VOOC charges normally.....
I presume some how, the original battery has reach a ending cycle of life....
Somehow i discovery this to help VOOC kicks in:
Use times to times another different charger, then VOOC. It seems sometimes to help.!

Not only has my phone shut down itself over night and showed 0% battery the next morning, but now also my vaac charger starts to charge for about 5 secs and then stops. Must be the battery and I'll contact Oppostyle now..
this is how my problem was solved

I had 2 issues:
1. VOOC not charging fast, but was charging, but extremely slowly. Including using other chargers
2. Phone not recognised when connected to computer via USB.
I took it in to the oppo service center in bangalore last month. THey fixed the issue by (what they claim) replacing the usb port and circuit within the phone . This took only 1 day. They also downgraded the software to the coloros 1.2 . They were very uncommunicative and had no proper process in place, including giving a handwritten receipt and bill!!!
But the total cost was inr830 or $12 so it was cheap and quick and it seems to have fixed the issue.
